Plants in the living room suffer
from various causes. First from
the dry atmosphere in rooms
which are heated by stove or fur
mace in winter; secondSfrom dust,
and third from cold currents of
air. Plants will not thrive if the
upper surface Of the leaves are
covered with dust, dust hermeti-
cally seals the openings thorough
which air is received into the leaf,
one of the principal sources of
food supply.
Clover hay is one ST the best of
foods for sheep. Sheep that are
old and out of condition will i'm
prove surprisingly on clover hay,
and sometimes become quite
fleshy, Clover hay is the richest
in nutriment of any produced on
the farm, yet it will not sell for
near as much as herdsgrass hay.
Clover hay should always be re
tanned at home and fed out to the
sheep or cows. Itshould be raised
more extensively ON farm general
ly, as it improves the condition of
the land, and is rich in nutriment
for all kinds of stock.
A good ration for COW giving
milk may be composed of four
pounds of cotton seed meal, four
pounds of corn meal and twenty
pounds of hay composed of equal
parts of clover and if herds grass
alone were used it might be adyis-
able to increase the quantity of
cotton seed meal one pound. Too
much hay should not be fed to
COWS which are receiving rich
ration of grain. A sufficient guam
tity of hay to afford comfortable
distension of the stomach is suffi-
cient and will leave more digestive
power to act upon the grain.
A correspondent of The Garden
directs the attention of plant grow
ers and orchid growers to the adj
vantages of the practice of boiling
tobacco juice in houses for the
destruction of the insects over the
old practice of fumigating. One
great advantage is that the steam
does not scald nor discolor the
most tender foliage nor the most
delicate flowers; that it can be done

Mistakes in Road Making.

One of the serious mistakes in
road making is to plough up the
side bitches and throw the materi-
al, sods, sand, and manure which
the rains have washed off the road
bed into them, back into the cen
tire of the drive way. This stuff
sod, sand, and loam-is utterly de-
structive of the foundation of the
road. The first rains convert this
loose organic material into a
slough of mud, while a hard rain
washes it back into the ditch. In a
dry season it becomes n perfect
bed of dust, annoying to the travel
er, destructive to vehicles, and
about as bad as the mud itself.
The surveyor who allows this in
EQUITY ought to be complained of
as an enemy to society. 1t is sure
ly destructive to any good road,
and it would be better enconomy
for the town to throw the money
directly into the ditch and let it
lie there.
Another serious and very COM
mon mistake is the neglect to re-
move the small, loose rolling
stones which in a dry time are
sure to work up to the surface of
MANY badly constructed roads.
This is SO easy and simple mat
ter, and can be SO rapidly done
with garden rake, and by cheap
and unskilled labor, that any town
is quite objectionable for neglect
ing it. Even a very sure-footed
horse is liable to stumble over
theserolling stones, and they make
a road positively dangerous. A
town is greatly to blame for fail
ing to remove them promptly and
often.
Another great mistake is in
making the road bed far too CT own
ing,-that is, in the form of a con-
vex circle, with the centre raised a
foot and sometimes eighteen inch
es or more, and the curvature at
the sides so abrupt as to make it
dangerous to turn out ON meeting
a carriage, or, at least, to give the
driver feeling CT insecurity.
Even the county commissioners of
one Of our large counties, who, it
would seem, ought to know better,
made the specifications for road
only twenty feet wide requiring
hat the road should Grown in
the center no less than eighteen
Inches, or one and half in ten,
and they could not be reasoned
out of it. See the result. The con-
vexity is SO great that the middle
of the road is the only place where
a carriage stands upright. The
travel all clings to the middle of
tie road, wearing one path for the
horse and two ruts for the wheels,
and making the road uneven. A
road ought to be formed so as to
induce travel over all parts of It.
No road should ever be allowed
so rough as to require a transverse
inclination greater than one in
twenty, which for road-bed
twenty feet wide would give a
centre six inches higher than the
sides. The best road maker in
England adopted one thirty feet
wide and MacAdam fixed on one
in thirty-six, and sometimes made
one in sixty, or in a thirty foot
road.-Old Farmer Almanac.

to the "Rural New Yorker" that
thirty years ago a few gardeners
near some of their large cities
raised a small quantity of stra@'-

transportation being mostly the
